A subplan (concentration) is required to complete this major. Students must submit a concentration form, to be approved by a faculty advisor and the program director, before the end of spring quarter of the junior year, listing their proposed concentration courses and a brief explanation of how these courses fulfill the concentration. Students select their concentration in Axess as a degree subplan. Subplans are printed on transcripts and diplomas.
